Exploration Drilling – Mine Photographer
Industrial /
0 Comment / March 29, 2012
Exploration Drilling is some of my favorite on location shoots to cover. Always in a new area outdoors, on the side of mountains, in the bush, or on a rocky plateau. Sometimes on the job site for Exploration Drilling all you need is the right angle and the right lighting. In this case it was all about using the British Columbia sunshine.

This is an image I did years ago but had to resurect it from the files. I lost the rubber boot from one of my tripod legs in the grate on the floor. I bet it's still there somewhere.

Industrial Safety
Safety is always the main focus during any job in the mining/industrial field. It's VERY important when photographing subject matter like this that all elements of safety are met. Here is an image from todays shoot. Steel cable is a MUST when suspended high above the ground.

More and more of my industrial clients are realzing that having an expensive camera will still not give them the high impact images that a Professional Photographer can create. The camera is pretty well the smallest peice of the pie. Lighting, composition, exposure, subject matter and even the personality of the photographer play some key roles in creating those knock out images. Another thing to consider is the time it takes to create the image. Most think that images like this are a "snapshot" away. I always get something like "Oh, here's Frank working on the flux capacitor, take a quick shot of him." I then have to explain about lighting setup and some quick planning.
After they see the finished image they then understand the difference between a "snapshot" and a "planned portrait".
"The snapshot"
"Planned Portrait"
(These take me roughly 15 minutes to knock out depending on the situation)
There is a reason why you should leave the photography to the professionals.

Professional Company Portraits

0 Comment / January 25, 2012
Part of the mining industrial industry is not all about the machines and equipment, but also about the executives and staff that are behind the success of the company. Having a professional headshot of your companie's leading individuals for your website and marketing materials is a no brainer. You take pride in your company, products and services so why not showcase the people that make it happen. Corporate portraits like the one below can easily be done in the studio or on location but you are best to leave it up to a professional photographer that knows and understands lighting to make your portrait something you will want use.

What's the best way to photograph an Industrial CNC Machine? From the inside out! Of course, I wasn't actually inside, but my camera was strategically placed there.
